Abstract This chapter gives a short overview of animal husbandry in Iron Age Europe. In this largely agrarian society, people depended on animals for food, transport, and labour. Although animal husbandry shows a high degree of variety, related to differences in climate, geography, and the complexity of society, broad geographical ...

Cyberspace in animal husbandry
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 1993Abstract This communication outlines the long-term potential, for animal husbandry, of a particular kind of computing device, cyberspace , that, through a broad array of sensory channels, gives the delusion of a simulated environment.

In this chapter, I identify the fundamental differences between animal husbandry and the industrial livestock industry. First, I recount my own discovery of husbandry in a semi-rural setting, and how it led me to understand that the animal produce I had previously bought without giving a thought to was the result of living work. They were the result of

Zinc fate in animal husbandry systems
Metallomics, 2014Zinc (Zn) is considered in animal production systems as both an essential nutrient and a possible pollutant. While it is generally supplemented at low levels in animal diets, with less than 200 mg kg(-1) in complete feeds, it is under scrutiny due to potential accumulation in the environment.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1976

It is important that archaeology should develop hypotheses concerned primarily with human behaviour.

Utilitarianism and Animal Husbandry
2013In this chapter I want to assess in more detail what utilitarianism has to say about animal-friendly animal husbandry. I will introduce the basic elements of utilitarianism, which are welfarism, maximization, and impartiality. After that, I will introduce different ways of assessing the welfare that an outcome entails, which will be relevant later on ...
